There is one other option, the gigantic 25hp limousine, and a problem, there should be twin spotlamps on the front bumper of any of these.

As there are no holes visible in the wings I think JFS is on the money with his last option of a post-war 25HP limousine minus its spotlamps. -- Last edit: 2015-09-27 12:08:10
Pierre ◊ 2017-02-15 06:50	1938+ 18/85 bearing a studio registration no? (Please see 'Final Appointment' picture and observations.) Limousines tend to need something like a 141" wheelbase. Have not eaten Monsieur Whitmarsh's book yet and will need to see some evidence before marinading, etc.
